Table-top experiment flips current understanding of solutal convection

Findings from a table-top experiment have revealed that the primary driver of a type of fluid flow called solutal convection has been overlooked. What's more, once this driver is accounted for, it completely flips the expected flow outcomes. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181130094308.htm

Searching an artificial bee colony for real-world results

The artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is widely applied in many fields, but it suffers from slow convergence, so its solutions perform well in exploration but poorly in exploitation. Researchers proposed a scale-free mechanism to guide the search of the ABC algorithm. They verified that scale-free networks improve the algorithm's optimization performance and enhance the search ability of other metaheuristic algorithms. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181130094318.htm

Black hole 'donuts' are actually 'fountains'

Based on computer simulations and new observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), researchers have found that the rings of gas surrounding active supermassive black holes are not simple donut shapes. Instead, gas expelled from the center interacts with infalling gas to create a dynamic circulation pattern, similar to a water fountain in a city park. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181130094315.htm

Whales lost their teeth before evolving hair-like baleen in their mouths

Rivaling the evolution of feathers in dinosaurs, one of the most extraordinary transformations in the history of life was the evolution of baleen -- rows of flexible hair-like plates that blue whales, humpbacks and other marine mammals use to filter relatively tiny prey from gulps of ocean water. Now, scientists have discovered an important intermediary link in the evolution of this innovative feeding strategy: an ancient whale that had neither teeth nor baleen. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181129142423.htm

US groundwater in peril: Potable supply less than thought

Many rural areas in parts of the US rely exclusively on groundwater for both agricultural and domestic use. Drilling deeper wells may not be a good long-term solution to compensate for increasing demands on groundwater, because there is potential for contamination of deep fresh and brackish water in areas where the oil and gas industry injects wastewaters into or in close proximity to aquifers. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181128141856.htm

Easy to use 3D bioprinting technique creates lifelike tissues from natural materials

Bioengineers have developed a 3D bioprinting technique that works with natural materials and is easy to use, allowing researchers of varying levels of technical expertise to create lifelike tissues, such as blood vessels and a vascularized gut. The goal is to make human organ models that can be studied outside the body or used to test new drugs ex vivo. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181128141711.htm

Atomic jet: First lens for extreme-ultraviolet light developed

Scientists have developed the first refractive lens that focuses extreme ultraviolet beams.

Researchers map light and sound wave interactions in optical fibers

Earlier this year researchers developed sensing protocols that allow optical fibers to 'listen' outside an optical fiber where they cannot 'look', based on an interplay between light waves and ultrasound. Now they have constructed a measurement protocol that can map local power levels of multiple optical wave components over many kilometers of fiber. This new insight may be applied to sensor systems of longer reach, higher spatial resolution, and better precision. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181128115009.htm
